Why Google sign-in only?
Your applications live in Gmail
Confirmations, interview invites and rejections arrive in your inbox, so the account you sign in with is the one we read. There is nothing to import by hand.
Your job search, organised from your inbox
NextStep reads your application emails, keeps every company and status in one place, and helps you tailor your CV and reply to recruiters.
NextStep is in open beta. When you connect Gmail, Google may show an “unverified app” screen. Choose Advanced, then Go to NextStep to continue.

How to get your free Gemini key
- Open Google AI Studio and sign in with any Google account.
- Click Create API key and choose a project (or let it create one).
- Copy the key, then paste it into the box below.
Free: the Gemini free tier costs nothing and needs no card. It has daily limits, which is plenty for tailoring CVs and letters.
Secure: your key is locked with your passphrase inside this browser before it is saved. It is sent only with your own requests, and we never store or log it.
Open Google AI Studio
Your Gemini key
Paste your key here. It is encrypted in this browser with your passphrase before it is saved, so nobody else, including the site owner, can read it. Forget the passphrase and you just enter your key again.
Key unlocked for this session.
Email replies
Lets you write a reply with AI and save it to your Gmail Drafts (or send it, if the site owner has turned sending on). This asks Google for one extra permission, to create drafts and send mail. You can turn it off any time here, and remove the permission at your Google permissions page.
Notifications
Get a notification on this device when a scan finds new applications or a rejection, interview or offer. They appear after a scan (the app also scans when you open it); there are no alerts while the app is closed. On iPhone, add the app to your Home Screen first.
Delete my data
Permanently deletes your applications, CV, generated documents, saved key and scan history from this site. It cannot be undone. Your Google account and Gmail are not touched. To also remove Gmail access, use your Google permissions page.
